With big alpine ascents come even bigger questions regarding gear. We break it down for you!

As our 2026 PNW Alpine Team prepares for Mount Baker, El Dorado, and Klawatti, they’re discovering something every aspiring alpinist learns sooner or later: figuring out what gear to bring can feel almost as mind-boggling as the climb itself.

Fortunately, they’re not figuring it out alone. In our latest blog, written by Lauren Glenn Manfuso, our Sportrock Climbing Guide experts share five common mistakes first-time alpinists make when gearing up for a big objective with insights on how to avoid them.

Whether you’re signed up for this year’s trip, dreaming about a future expedition, or simply alpine-curious, there’s something in this one for you.
